Until today.
I saw this pin about "summer legs" and actually followed the link to read the info. You can find it here.
Here's what I did:
1. Run a warm bath. (I added some bath salts and baby oil to soften legs/feet)
2. Mix in bowl: 1 1/4 c. sugar, 1/2 c. oil (I used olive oil because I didn't have enough baby oil left; original poster says you can use other oils too, whatever you prefer), 3 tbsp citrus (lemon/lime is what was suggested....but I didn't have any so I used aloe vera that I had sitting in the fridge). That's all the original poster had - I also added a bit of lavender lotion and lavender scrub my lovely SIL got me from Aveda:
3. Soak legs/feet in bath for 5-10 minutes (or however long you want! relax!!)
4. Shave as normal (I use shaving cream and the shick hydro silk razor)
5. Apply scrub generously to legs and feet. Rub, massage, and enjoy - this part feels SO GOOD! Just like the deluxe pedicure at a nail salon.....I suppose the only thing that would make this part better is if someone else was doing the massaging for you ;) {hint hint to hubby!}
6. Rinse well.
7. Shave again!
*The original poster stated that she shaved again and was surprised at how much dead skin she "shaved off"....I didn't have this problem, which actually surprised me because my skin tends to be pretty dry. But maybe I was just having a good, hydrated day ;)
8. Apply scrub again and massage.
9. Rinse well
10. Moisturize, if you normally do. Personally, I don't ever put lotion on right after I shave b/c it burns my legs (I have super sensitive skin). I didn't feel like I needed to, though, as my legs were SUPER soft. Two hours later - I can't stop feeling them. Ha! I did moisturize my feet though, as I live in FL and therefore get dry, cracked "FL flip flop" heels all the time.
I had some left over and cannot wait to use this again...so easy and feels so good! Enjoy!
